A pet T-Rex needs special care.  What kind of special care you might ask?  Everyone, including a T-Rex, needs exercise. Watch out!  A T-Rex needs extra space to move around.  And what about food?  A T-Rex will need lots of food!  A T-Rex will make mistakes like everyone else and need to be treated with kindness.  The day is full of adventures when caring for a pet T-Rex.

There are many silly moments when a boy and his T-Rex interacted during a summer day. However, there are facts to learn about the real dinosaur, T-Rex and in the back are included more fun T-Rex facts.  Young readers will love the silliness of a pet T-Rex.
